There was a special meeting of the Ma
tional Rifles last night, held at their armory.
The attendance was good, for q matter of
importance was to be decided, viz: Whether
or not the Rifles should 60 into the District
militia and thus form part Of the National
Guards Discussion was animated and
lengthy, but the weight Of sentiment was
all on one side, and the weaker-a small
minority-were forced to the wall. At
1880 recess Of fifteen minutes was taken
to allow committee TO retire for the pur-
pose of drafting resolutions expressing the
views Of the majority. At the appointed
time the meeting reassembled, Capt. Oyster
In the chair, and the following resolutions
were put:
Whereas the National Rifles has maintained
It's independence as q military organization
during the past seven years, and at all times 1t
has held itself In readiness to perform any
and still deeming itself to be subject to cali
from such authorities; therefore, eit

sappo Of Inc afa o s po
Of Columbia, u considers that 1t is advisable
to await such legislation before taking final
action upon the subject, and for the present
declines TO form part OF the said National
Guard.
The vote was practically unanimous for
the adoption Of the resolutions and the
matter, 80 far as the National Rifles are con-
cerned, is practically settled, unless Con-
gress should do something startlingly
bountiful when 1t comes to consider the
question Of organizing the District militia
and appropriating hard cash for its equip
ment and other needs.

already in the militia, think the action OF
the Rifles looks like slurring display of
dubiousness as to the legislation Congress
will be asked to make, and think that their
red coated brethren should walk by faith
even as the others are doing. For the
present, however, the Rifles will not take
any 'miitia" In theirs.

Real estate has been more nearly dull
this past week than at any time for some
months. What business has been trans
acted was confined very largely to the east
ern portion Of the city, where property
continues to change hands in surprisingly
nimble and profitable manner. Building In
that section ia also moving forward with
determined strides despite the warm
weather, and the close OF this season will
display an East Washington which APP
proaches more nearly the ideas and wishes
OF the city's founders than anything hitherto
seen or hoped for. On the western edge
Of the city Burleith is doing remarkably
well, and Messre Hutty 81 Dyer report
steady sales. This Is due very largely to
the fact that the valuations are not fanci
full, but real. Thirty-seventh and Thirty
eighth streets are now opened up through
the subdivision, and gas and water will
soon follow.
Two or three large transactions In out.
side property are on the tapis, but no
because the deeds have not passed. The
additions will not, however, be placed on
the market this season.
The twelve houses which Messrs. Daneu-
hover u Son are superintendiDg the cree
ton Of, on Portner Place, are rapidly ap-
pre- nchtn, completion. Ihey Will be sold
| on the redeerlable ground-rent plan.
The directors OF the Central National
Bank met yesterday and instructed their
| architect, Mr.. A. b. Mullett, to make the
new bank building the finest In all its APP
| pointments Of any bank 10 the United
States. The limit OF expense which hereto
fore existed has been removed, and the
| work will be done without regard TO cost.
One Of the featurers due to the growth OF
F street from Eighth to Fifteenth is the
marked improvement of the streets con.
Meeting that thoroughfare with Pennsyl
vania avenue. High and increasing rents
| and values on these two great arteries have
| driven many tradespeople to these connect
ing links and In little while stands on
Eleventh and Twelfth streets will be as
valuable as on the greater thoroughfares
This is possibly the result Of the building
Of SO many large places Of BUSINESS on +
street.
Nearly all Of the large tracts recently pur
chased beyond Tenleytown will be run as
farms for awhile, In fact there will be nc
subdividing done there this year.

BUTLER ON BEEF.
Determination Made Against tho Bur-
ton Cattle Car.

ton Cattle Car.
The interstate commission yesterday con-
unued the hearing Of the Burton Car Com
pany's case against certain western roads.
Gen. Butler, on behalf OF the Burton com
pany, madea very comprehensive review Of
the testimony. He referred at length to
the evidence OF General Manager Stone, OF
the Chicago, Burlington, and Quincy rail-
road, and showed therefrom the INJURIES
suffered by cattle transported in the ordl-
nary stock cars and the influence such In.
juries would have on the beef and the con-
sumer. He denied the right OF the comDa-
mics to discriminate against the cars made
and controlled by his cllents. He said he
thought Mr.. stones interest had affected
his conscience.
He cited authorities In support Of his
claim that the roads had no right TO make
determinations and declared that the inter
state commerce law had not changed the
condition OF the law In this respect. II
had merely added-and added vastly--to the
means OF enforcing the law and detecting
infractions thereof. II the law was not
carried out, so much the worse for the rail.
roads. This law was only slight shower.
The next warning the roads would get
would be an avalanche.
Mr.. Foster, counsel for the Chicago, Bur
hhEtun, anu NSulnCg IuiiIOhu, ueCluTeu tuuL
the Burton Car Company was common
carrier, and could not therefore compel
any road to accommodate them with tracks
and motive power. He resented in warm
terms Gen. Buffers attack on Mr.. Stone.
Mr.. George @. Green, representing the
Lake Shore road, followed. He discussed
the law, and said the act was intended TO
regulate commerce, and not to decide what
rolling stock railroad should use.
Mr.. John s. Blair and Judge Shellabar-
ger, representing the Union Pacific, argued
the question Of Jurisdiction.
A recess was then taken until $50
o'clock, after which Gen. Butler made his
closing argument. lie declared that the
commission had no right to regulate com.
merce; 1t must regulate the instrumental
ties OF commerce 80 that commerce should
be free and unrestrained. He maintained
that the loaded Burton car was the ship
per's package and was entitled to all the
rights to which the packages OF other ship.
pers were entitled under the law. He CON
cluded by saying that the discrimination
against the Burton cars was putting price
upon the poor mans beef or compelling
him to take II In q poisoned condition.

WATCHES OF ANTIQUITY.
Sale OF Ancient and Curious Time
pieces at Alexandria.

pieces at Alexandria.
There was sale OF watches and jewelry
at Alexandria yesterday. The estate of
Benjamin F. Barton, who died about 81
months ago at the advanced age OF 90 yeGs'
is being settled up. and the contents o Ihe
old safe, about which there was 81 much
curiosity, came under the aurhoneers
hammer. The antique timepieCIs, many OF
them valuable, were sold az rldiculously
low prices, but the greatest bargain OF tne
day was secured by Mr.. Louis Brill, VINO
purchased for the sum Of III cents watcn
which was the property OF the famous
Daniel Webster. The watch is one OF tnose
large, clumsy, oldfashioned, open-faced
concerns SO common during the early
part of this century; the dial plate
Is of porcelain, and the hours are indicated
by figures instead Of numerals. The glass
which protects the face is heavy "bulls-
eye,n and the case Ia of enameled gold,
quite heavy. In the back OF the case was
found two pieces Of parchment; on one Of
them was the date "August l, 1877 on
the other, ITO be repaired for Daniel Web
ster." The ink was faded, and the inscrip-
ton hardly decipherable. The relic is
valuable one, and must have been In the
possession OF Mr.. Barton ever since the
date given, at which time he did large
amount Of watch repairing for prominent
men in and around Washington. Another
watch similar, with gold cases, was left
there by Fairfax Avery on Aug. IA, 1907;
that also was sold for 10 cents.

TRIP TO CREssoN.
Tho Pennsyivania Railroads Excur-
sion TO the Press.


The hospitality Of the Pennsylvania Rail-
road Company is so well established that
when II extends an invitation to any per
son to become Its guest II is only with great
reluctance that the invitation is declined.
The press Of Philadelphia, Baltimore, and
this city few days since were invited by
the company to participate In a special ex-
cursion they had arranged to Cresson, Pa,
starting ON the 23d Of June and returning
the ensuing Saturday. Every newspaper
man who by any means could get away &C
cepted the opportunity to enjoy so delight
full trip as was promised, and yesterday
morsing at 7:45 o'clock the special train
that left the sixth-street depot had on
board an elegant party Of ladies and gem
tlemen. At Baltimore, an hour later, the
journalists Of the Monumental City
and their ladies Joined the party, and II
was near noon when Harrisburg was
reached, and junction made with
the Philadelphia branch Of the
press excursion, and the Harrisburg oontin
gent was taken on board. From this point
onward tho trip was indeed lively. The
company were out for fun; they partook Of
sport freely, and happier set OF tourists II
would be difficult TO get together. II does
not take long for the reserve to rub of
among newspaper men, and IN less time
than one would Imagine the representatives
OF the press of the three cities were APP
paiently old friends Of extended acquaint-
anceship. On arriving at Cresson, shortly
before o'clock, accommodations were
| found In readiness at the Mountain
| House. The excurslonists were promptly
roomed, and soon everybody was com
| Portable, entirely at home, enjoying the
beautiful scenery and fresh, cool, healthy
| air--in fact, rather too sharp to NEE
| with summer garments.
The party Of visitors, including ladies, Of
| which there is an excellent representation,
| numbers 1870. The run OF the special wa
made In what was regarded as fast time
being about six hours and forty minutes
The weather could not have been better TO
travelling, the rain OF Wednesday nigh
having effectively laid the dust and coole,
the air. While the party are the guests o
the Pennsylvania Railroad Company, thai
corporation has given attention to every dc
tail involving comfort and convenience, an,
with the excursionists arc Messrs. Geo. w
Boyd, Of Philadelphia; r. e. Boyd, Of Baltl
more, and Robt A. Parke, passenge
agents, who are exerting themselves to Sc
that they lack for nothing likely to con
tribute to their enjoyment.
Last night the excursionists enjoyed
hop, and to-day 1t is proposed to take
ride through the mountains over the var
GUS interesting railroads, which are 8
numerous In that section.
